lle it known fn. t'. .1. illu-filmer .lo-animen a citizen of the. United States, and resident ot' Chicago: county of lCook, and Stato ot lllinoie, have invented certain new and use 'fnl improvements in "lwine Holders and Fnsteuer-s` ot which the following is a specification, and which are illust-rated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part- The invent-ion relates to twine holders and has for lits oojeet. to provide r. holder adepte-d to serve twine from a. hall in lengths land to firmly hold the twine against. an outward pull during the use of the length and until the Sonie has been severed.

ln the nee ot twine for certain purposes,

asin the tying of siiusages, it is desirable tohave one end ot' the twine firmly held against an outward pull. To this end it has heretofore heen the praetiee to out, the twine into a number of lengthe, each length being enough longer than that desired for use to permit ot one end of the length being securely fas'ened as by being tied upon a nail driven in the workmans bench. This praetice has been attended with unnecessary labor and great wastefnlness in the use of the twine, and Short ends of the twine have neceeearily accumulated upon the support to which the lengths are nttached, these have collected dirt and have, therefore, presented an unsightly appearnnee and an uneanitery condition. The present'- in'v'entfion contemplates a holder adapted to be detachably in lengths from a ball and to firmly hold the same during the use of each length for tying sausages or other articles.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a perspective View illustrating a detail of a Worl: bench and showing a twlne holder, of the form provided by the invention, mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the twine holder illustrated in Fig. l, showing the parts in a different position in dotted lines, and, Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the same. v-

A detail of a Work bench or table such as that upon which sausages are tied is shown at; 10 in Fig. 'l of the drawings. For the tying of sausages upon such a tableit clef lsireble to have' twine supplied in lengths, as

"i2, which firmly held at one end and which extend parallel to and adjacent the.

The lengths of twine, as 12, are.. most desirably supplied from a hall, as Q0, and are extended over the upper arm 16 of the. holder 14, preferably between guide lugs 2l and QQ which rise. from the upper surface of the said arm and, nre suitably spaced eport. to 'receive the twine between them. Releasable moans is providedv for gripping the twine in order that one endsof each lenqth, as 12, may be firmly held while still permitting a, new length to be drawn from the ball 2O after each preceding length has been used.
